Dual booting has no bearing on the computer.
Just ensure you keep all important data backed up [ off ] the machine.
Well the person who repaired my computer told me and I have one of the RAM's in my laptop bag
What is slot A and B.Kindly explain.What is the meaning of Bump to LH?
Slot A and B are the identifiers of the Slots where the memory goes. ie. which memory slot is bad, the first or the second. Bump to LH simply means he passed to Lighthouse for further answers.
Are you sure it's the ram slot (rarely damaged) and not the ram itself? With just 1 memory module, How much is your ram? Windows 7's minimum requirement for memory is 1 gigabyte RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit). With Ubuntu, its just about 1 gigabyte or less depending on the edition.
I don't have much knowledge about hardware.My RAM is 4GB.My Windows 7 is using approximately 1.03 RAM.I am not sure whether it is the RAM slot or the RAM which has been damaged.Is there any method to figure out which is dead?
Are slot A and B labelled on the motherboard?
Thank You Xhi,Lighthouse,G41M,raphoenix.
Bad Ram Slot On Motherboard
Please can you post the make and model of the laptop.
Replace the 1 ram (in the laptop) with the other ram in your laptop bag. If the laptop boots ok, then the ram's good and maybe the ram slot is really damaged.
